Carried

Today's Scripture

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.” Isaiah 46:4, NLT

Where would we be without the God who carries us through the difficulties, who sustains us, who has not let the opposition defeat us, not let the anxiety take root, not let the doubt talk us out of our dreams? Your heavenly Father loves carrying you, and you never get too old for God to carry you. When you’re tempted to worry that you might not make it through a sickness, or you feel overwhelmed by a loss or discouraged by people at work who are not fair, just start thanking Him for carrying you.

You may have things coming against you now, and you don’t see how you can keep going. You could live upset and bitter, but God knows what you’re going through, the struggles, the lonely nights, the unfair situations. He is saying, “I’m going to carry you. I have you close to My heart. You’re in the palm of My hand.” You’re about to feel strength that you’ve never felt, peace when you could be stressed, favor that will make things happen that you couldn’t make happen.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for promising me grace for every difficulty, and thank You for carrying me throughout my lifetime. Thank You that You made me and care about every detail of my life. I declare that nothing that’s coming against me will be too much. I will rest in the palm of Your hand. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

“I Am What God Says I Am”

Today's Scripture

You realize, don’t you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16, MSG

“I am what God says I am.” I may feel weak, but God says I’m strong, so my report is, “I am strong.” When you say that, strength starts heading your way. When you’re dealing with an illness, anxiety, or depression, it’s easy to wear the labels “sick,” “depressed,” “anxious,” “defeated.” “That’s just who I am.” No, that’s not who you are. That’s what you’re dealing with. You’re not a sick person trying to get well. You’re a well person fighting off sickness. Don’t let the difficulty become your identity. Don’t get in agreement with the negative. Go back to what your Creator says. God says He’s restoring health to you. He says you’ll run and not be weary. He says weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Say about yourself, “I am a temple of God. I’m healthy, whole, energetic, free, happy, and victorious.” If you start saying what God says about you instead of what you feel, you’ll see things begin to turn around. Don’t go through life wearing negative labels.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that You didn’t create me to live weighed down by the worry, hurts, guilt, and frustrations that creep in and limit my life. Help me to clear out all the clutter of negative thoughts and labels from my mind and dwell on what You have to say about me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

All the Kingdom Promises

Today's Scripture

“So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises!” Luke 12:32, TPT

When you come to God with your prayers, don’t be a beggar, be a believer. Some people come to God pleading for the same promises again and again. No, turn it around. God heard you the first time you asked. Don’t pray like He didn’t. When you pray, believe that He is faithful, that the miracle was set in motion, and start thanking God that it’s on the way. And believe that you’re a child of the Most High God, that He’s your loving Father who joyously gives you His kingdom with all its promises. No more begging God year after year.

Most of the time after you pray a promise from God or a desire He’s put on your heart, there’s a waiting period when you don’t see anything happening. All you have is a promise, but it’s from the God who created the universe. You have a word from the God who calls you a masterpiece, the God whose good pleasure it is to give you the kingdom. Your heavenly Father gave you His Word. Believe and receive it.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for being my loving Father who joyously gives me Your kingdom with all its promises. Thank You for encouraging me to come to You and be a believer, not a beggar. I declare that I am believing and receiving because You have given me Your Word. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Turn and Walk Away

Today's Scripture

Then David turned away from Eliab to someone else and asked the same question. 1 Samuel 17:30, AMP

The enemy uses offenses and insults to get you upset and try to prove to people who you are or try to pay them back. You end up wasting valuable time and energy fighting a battle that doesn’t matter. If that battle is not between you and your destiny, don’t engage it. Goliath stood between David and his purpose, and David fought that battle. A few days earlier, David’s older brother, Eliab, belittled David in front of other soldiers, but David turned away. Had he gotten distracted by the offense and tried to set his brother straight, he would have missed fighting Goliath.

The mark of a champion is knowing what battles to fight and what battles to walk away from. Are you fighting battles that don’t matter, just trying to prove to people who you are, to set them straight? If you win, what have you accomplished? Are you closer to your destiny, or was it a distraction? When you learn to walk away from what doesn’t matter, you’ll have the strength, the favor, and the anointing to defeat what does matter.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that You are the Most High God, and You hold my destiny in Your hands. Give me wisdom to know when what is coming against me is simply a distraction that will get me off course. Help me to guard my lips and not get involved in battles that don’t matter. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Be Victorious

Today's Scripture

“We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak! Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that’s what they thought, too!” Numbers 13:33, NLT

Moses sent twelve spies to search out the Promised Land. These men were skilled warriors, strong leaders, the cream of the crop. They had seen God part the Red Sea, send manna for food each morning, miracle after miracle. Yet ten spies came back after forty days and said, “Moses, we don’t have a chance. The people are huge. We felt like grasshoppers compared to them.” They made the mistake of letting their environment determine their identity. Because they saw themselves as grasshoppers, as weak, defeated, “not able to” insects, they never made it into the Promised Land.

Don’t let that be you. What you’re up against may look impossible—the sickness, family trouble, financial setback. The environment is trying to convince you to change who you are and take on that grasshopper mentality, saying, “It’s not meant to be.” God wouldn’t have allowed it if you weren’t well able. On your own, you may not be able to defeat it, but you’re not on your own. The Most High God is breathing on your life. You are blessed, favored, healthy, valuable, and strong. Be victorious.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that You are always greater than any difficulty or adversity I will ever face. Thank You that You have given me everything I need to live out Your purpose for my life. I declare that I am not a grasshopper, but I am well able to go in and take the land. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Great Endurance

Today's Scripture

…being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience. Colossians 1:11, NIV [/b]

When you look at the life of David, he had many mountaintop moments that we celebrate—his anointing to be the next king of Israel, defeating Goliath, becoming a national hero, conquering enemy armies. These were moments when God suddenly promoted, blessed, favored. But most of David’s life was spent in the valleys where it didn’t look like God was doing anything, times that were lonely, unfair, uncomfortable. If it wasn’t for the grace of God strengthening David with all power, he would not have had the great endurance and patience it took for him to reach the throne.

It’s easy to get discouraged when things aren’t changing as fast as we would like. We know God has put promises in our heart, then opposition shows up with a flood of trouble, heartbreak, and anxiety. Know that in that moment God is going to strengthen you with supernatural power to have great endurance. What should discourage and defeat you will give way to fresh passion and vision that will propel you into your purpose.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that Your power is at work to strengthen me in order that I can have great endurance and accomplish great things. Thank You that I can put the discouragements of the valley behind me and stir up my faith. I believe that You are pushing me forward into my purpose. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Blessed Indeed

Today's Scripture

“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.” Numbers 6:24–25, NIV

Start today with God’s blessing on you, with His face shining upon you. You were created in His image. He didn’t make any mistakes. You didn’t get shortchanged. He knew every weakness you would have. He knew the areas you would struggle in. So quit beating yourself up, living unworthy, letting condemnation hold you back. Receive His grace and mercy and move forward with boldness and faith.

With God’s blessing, you have to start blessing yourself. When you’re tempted to say something negative, turn it around. Instead of “I’m not attractive,” say “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Instead of “I’ve made too many mistakes,” say “I am forgiven, redeemed, and restored.” Instead of “I’ll never be successful,” say “I’m surrounded by favor.” You have a destiny to fulfill. There’s a calling on your life, an assignment that only you can accomplish. The people in your life need your gifts, your talent, your smile, your love. This world won’t be as bright a place as it should be without you shining, living the blessed, abundant life that you were created to live.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for the promises You have spoken that I can use to invoke blessings upon myself. Thank You that I can speak words of faith that agree with what You say about me and give them the right to come to pass. I will use the words I speak over my life to bless myself. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Starve the Negatives

Today's Scripture

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8, NIV

The enemy roars threats, trying to bring fear and cause you to shrink back, to live doubting, insecure, and unworthy. But if you quit feeding the biggest, strongest lion for a week, his roar will be a growl. In two weeks, the king of the jungle is not going to have the strength to attack. In a month, he’s too weak to get up. If you quit feeding him, he loses all his power.

In the same way, fear, worry, and doubt can seem too powerful to defeat. But if you quit feeding the negatives, if you quit letting them play in your mind, they will get weaker and weaker. You’ll get to the point where they can’t control you. Every time doubt or fear comes, that’s the roaring lion trying to deceive, manipulate, and limit. It’s your choice of whether you will feed it. Do yourself a favor and start starving those things. They lose all their power when you quit feeding them. Instead of feeding your fears, feed your hope, your faith, your confidence, your courage. Feed the promises of God and what He says about you.

A Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that when the enemy is roaring, bombarding my thoughts with doubts and fears, that I can resist him, firm in the faith. Thank You that I can choose to starve those thoughts and instead feed on Your Word. I declare that I will not be intimidated into backing down. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Whose Report Will You Believe?

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“I have heard a report from the Lord...” (Jeremiah 49:14, AMP)

Every day we get “reports” from the news, our experiences, our friends and family, and many other sources. We also get reports from the Word of God, which oftentimes, contradicts what others are saying. That’s when we have a choice: do we believe what we hear in the natural, or do we believe the report of the Lord?

Friend, we serve a supernatural God! Just because we don’t see a way doesn’t mean that He doesn’t have a way. God can bring one opportunity across your path that will thrust you to a new level. He has explosive blessings that can blast you out of debt and into abundance. “Well, I don’t think I’ll ever get well. You should see what the medical report says about me.” No, that may be true according to medical science, but we have another report and it says, “You will live and not die. God is restoring health unto you.” With men it may be impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Choose today to believe the report of the Lord. Stand strong no matter what is going on around you knowing that He is leading you into victory in every area of your life!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I choose to believe Your Word above all else. I know that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf, and You will cause me to triumph. Help me to tune out the negative voices of the world so that I can focus on Your goodness all the days of my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
